The Contented Little Baby Book 170 reviews

Vermilion, 1999
mother of twins, child psychologist
I am a mother of beautiful 4 month old twin boys and have been following Gina's methods (the twin version)since the boys were 3 months (when I found out about the book). I wish I had this book from their birth- it helped me become more confident as a mother and my babies are happy and very healthy. The small sacrifices you have to make to keep the babies on schedule are worth it. Prior to ...

From Contented Baby to Confident Child7 reviews
Gina Ford
Vermilion, 2000
Gina is an angel
I had no idea of how to parent once I had my first child. He was a real trial--very fussy and he cried a lot. Being a new mother, I was a wreck and exhausted. I had no idea of what kind of a schedule would work. I had read MANY books and was still lost. Out of desperation one rainy day a friend suggested Gina's book and I went right out to get it. I devoured it and tried her methods. THEY ...

The Contented Toddler Years 1 review
Gina Ford
Vermilion, 2006
Can't live without it!
I purchased this book when my toddler turned one because The Contented Little Baby book (also by Ford), only covered the first year and I suddenly felt lost! Ford is a genious when it comes to handling babies and toddlers and this book covers issues such as sleeping, eating, tantrums, potty-training, etc. Recently, we transitioned our 28-month old to a toddler bed and it was taking an hour to ...

Sleepy time - Gina Ford
My son loves this book, he only wants Gina Fords books with their simple colours and different kinds of patches he can touch. Great for bed time story time. If it's a hit with my son it's a hit with me.

Good Mother, Bad Mother
A nice glance into the life of Gina Ford as a woman and daughter not just the queen of routines :)
When so many of us mothers get criticized for the way we chose to bring up our families and live our daily lives I found it refreshing to get positive feedback that there are many different types of people out there and at the core we all want is whats best for our children, even if that means ...

The Contented Little Baby Book of Weaning1 review
Gina Ford
Vermilion, 2006
Excellent - a very helpful guide
Weaning...sheesh. Where to start? What type of food to introduce first? When to introduce the next new foods? When do move to finger foods? Table food? AHHH. I really found weaning intimidating with my little one, feeling that if I put a foot wrong, my little one would turn into a fussy eater. So this book was a HUGE help to me. Gina Ford lays out in her no nonsense manner a day to day approach ...

The Complete Sleep Guide for Contented Babies & Toddlers1 review
Gina Ford
Vermilion, 2006
GREAT GREAT GREAT!!
This is an excellent book to help you with any sleep issues your baby/toddler is having. There is common sense step by step guides to multiple sleep situations, and sensible case studies that one can easily relate too and follow the advice for their own situation. My baby is 7 months and happily sleeps from 6.45pm to when I wake her at 7.30ish the next morning. Based on Gina's advice, my husband ...

The Contented Child's Food Bible 3 reviews
Gina Ford, Paul Sacher
Vermilion, 2004
Lots' of useful facts and solutions, but no recipes
As any of Gina Ford's books, the Contented Child's Food Bible is loaded with useful, practical, updated information, ranging from what makes a portion of protein, to what are the most common allergic reactions and what symptoms they have, to what commercial foods really have inside. The book also has lots of very interesting case studies, some related to fussy eating, other to bad food habits. ...

Potty Training In One Week 4 reviews
Gina Ford
Vermilion, 2006
Amazing advice!
Everyone will tell you different things about potty training, but the same things seem to repeat. I found many of these tidbits repeated in a program that really works for kids. Avoid disposable pull-ups, they just confuse, and don't go back to them if you are having accidents is just so true. A great book for anyone ready to potty train!

Animal Babies: A Lift-the-Flap Book (Ella & Tom Lift the Flap Book)
Gina Ford
Doubleday UK, 2008
It?s spring time and Ella and Tom are on the farm. There are babies everywhere! Young children will love lifting the flaps to help Ella and Tom find the farmer's lost puppy. They see little lambs, fluffy chicks, a wobbly foal and lots more. But where can the puppy be? This is the perfect introduction to animals and their babies.

Just so many better choices out there!
All I can say is that, if you want real nutritional advice look elsewhere!

A Contented House with Twins3 reviews
Gina Ford, Alice Beer
Vermilion, 2006
child psychologist and twin mom
Plain and simple-Gina's methods work. At 4 months old my boys sleep through the night (7 to 7 w/ a dream feed at 10:00) and take 3 naps a day, while the moms in my twin group are always commenting about how CIO (cry It out) is so difficult w/ their 7 and 8 month old babies.
Use this book as a guideline or strictly stick to the schedules, either way you will be happy w/ your purchase.
